They Made It!
Well, they made it! Ralph called today at 2:00pm to say that in the distance they could see New Jersey, and they were soon to be pulling into the bay. He said the trip went pretty well. Thankfully, the seas remained relatively calm. They expected 5 - 9 footers for a short time, however they were 2 - 6 most of the way home. He said, "we made it, we traveled over 1500 miles of open waters and we did it all in an Intruder flats boat." For those who say that the Intruder 21 is not a sea worthy boat, think again. It seems that Ralph has just proved that it is. We'll have more details (and I'm sure pictures) to share soon, probably from Ralph himself. Can you imagine the scene now, a yellow 21 foot flats boat pulling into New York harbor after a 1500 mile journey. I'm sure we all would have loved to have see that. Way to go Ralph and Bob, you did it!
